Your friend likes someone. But the thing is, you kind of like that person too. So, what do you do? Make your friend fall in love with someone else. There are a few easy steps to do this.

Steps

1

Pick out the right person. Don’t pick out someone who’s your type. Pick out someone who he/she would like. Since you like the same person, it may be hard to find the difference in your tastes. But you can find one.

2

Talk about them with your friend. After you’ve picked the right person, talk about them. Maybe say something to your friend about something funny they said, or the awesome shirt he/she was wearing. Little things like this.

3

Point out good things about them. Start talking about things you notice about them. Is he/she cute? Does he/she listen to good music? Is he/she smart? If you can get your friend to agree, you’re on the right track. Keep going.

4

Make excuses for the person's flaws. If your friend doesn’t agree, no problem. If he/she points out flaws, defend them. If they say he/she has a bad haircut, say something about feeling sorry for them because their parents probably made them get it.

5

Point out flaws in other people. Point out flaws in other people, especially the guy you both like. If you can make this new person seem amazing compared to the first person, they’ll probably grow to like the person you chose more.

6

Make the person seem significant. Make it seem like they're always around. Talk about how they “coincidentally” are always there. Make it seem like they might like your friend. Say they're staring at her/him or in your direction.

7

Point them out whenever you see them. Nudge your friend's arm or make a cutesy noise. Try to get your friend to look at the person whenever they walks by. If you do this enough, they’ll soon start nudging you and pointing the person out. This is a really good thing.

8

Talk about the future they could have. Now, your friend’s probably not planning on marrying the person, but joke about it. Say they could have lots of kids and lots of money. Make them start thinking the person’s worth giving a shot.

9

Try to get your friend to talk to them. Talk to the person yourself if you have to. But find out a little bit more about them. You want your friend to be able to have a good conversation with the person. Try to convince your friend the person’s worth talking to.

Tips

You may want to find out about the person a little before you start these steps. It will help.

When following the steps, be subtle. You don't want your friend to get the wrong idea.

When you bring up the thought of the person possibly liking your friend, don't overdo it. Plant a seed in their mind and let it grow on it's own. If you water it, you're the one giving your friend possibly false hope.

If your friend doesn't start to change their mind about the person after a while, either give up or pick a new person. Don't be too obvious, though.

Warnings

It will be a long process. If rushed, the plan could backfire.

DO NOT, I repeat, absolutely, DO NOT fall in love with the person. If you've done well and convinced your friend, then you are just back at stage 1.

It's not a good idea to clue in the person you choose for your friend. Their reactions are unpredictable.

Don't let your friend catch on to what you're doing. They may get really mad.
